Application corruption (maybe) Quicktime, Broadcaster, Fireworks, etc

10.4.7
MacbookPro Intel Core Duo
Suddenly some problems. They "feel" related but not sure.
In any case, not sure of how to fix.
My Fireworks 8 will no longer open. I get a Macromedia error pop-up stating "A problem was detected with your application. Please reinstall software to correct the problem."
So I reinstall.
Same problem! Reinstallation does not fix.
Also, I now have no sound with Quicktime. All other system sounds are fine, DVD player, sound applications like Peak. But Quicktime is silent.
Lastly - my Quicktime Broadcaster is no longer working.
Video is no longer appearing in the source preview. (although I can confirm that the camera is working when I click on options for "built in iSight." I DO see video in the "Video Adjustments" window.
Futhermore, if I click on "broadcast" I get this error "Broadcaster Error - Can't Open Handler (-2004)
Argghhh.
Any suggestions for me?
Thanks!
Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Yikes! - Still looking for some advice here.
Urgent that we get Broadcaster and Quicktime happening.
I've reinstalled Broadcaster ... but still getting this Can't Open Handler error.
And Quicktime has no sound.
Whats going on?

  • "Quicktime Broadcaster quit unexpectedly", "Precondition Failed (412)"

    We are trying to do a live webcast of our church service through a 3rd party QTSS host company. On our end when you press "broadcast" it will go through pre-rolling, but when it goes to broadcast mode the program crashes and gives an error, "The application Quicktime Broadcaster quit unexpectedly."
    If you relaunch the application it gives you a "Broadcaster Error - Precondition Failed (412)". The audio and video feed is coming into the computer through a AJA Kona LHe breakout box and card. Broadcaster lists all its settings as options and you can see the video in the preview window. I plugged in a simple dv camera by firewire and had the same experience.
    Does anyone use Broadcaster with a breakout box etc., not sure if Kona isn't compatible or something?
    A mac laptop has been plugged in using the same internet connection and used iSight and worked fine.
    We have another G5 that I put broadcaster on and used a simple dv camera to make sure that there was not a network, firewall, or 3rd part server issue and it worked fine, but this computer isn't in the control room and doesn't have the audio and video feeds from the service to be of use.

  • Streaming Audio A2DP and Airport solutions or Quicktime Broadcaster...

    Hi everyone,
    (first post for me, I hope this is not the wrong place for this)
    So here it is : another topic about audio streaming, sorry about that.
    What I want to do : Since all my music is on my Macbook with Leopard, I want to be able to stream less or more in real time some audio from iTunes, and maybe later if possible audio from movies or else outside iTunes. The stream has to be played on my stereo speakers that are currently plugged on my desktop Windows computer.
    I know there is couple of solutions for that, and here is what I tried :
    The airport express was the first easy thing, worked quite good but couple of things could have been better :
    - This imply that you put on your network a 54G device (trying to avoid that to go fully N)
    - You can not really use something that is not on itunes (Airfoil enables it, but still limitations) About that I ll be glad to hear from you if someone tried to stream from a movie with that - issues with a/v sync?, etc..
    Then I thought about using A2DP, but the Leopard support seams not reliable, so I did not try to buy an A2DP receiver - that has an audio output for your speakers. There is couple of them on the market (http://sonyfanboy.wordpress.com/2007/05/27/new-sony-a2dp-bluetooth-receiver-tdm- bt1/), but some reports indicate that the sound is bad, the range is poor, and it interferes with the wifi. - any comments on that would be appreciated! - also - do you have an a/v sync if you play a video this way?
    The third solution is the one I am using for now. Not perfect, but the better for me so far:
    I am using a combination of Quicktime Broadcaster, Soundflower and Soundsource to create a virtual sound card that stream everyhing that is sent to it. On the other side my desktop computer receives the stream via either Vlc or Quicktime.
    This works quite well since everything goes through the existing network (My desktop has a 100mb link to my router). I had to look for the right settings for quite a while, and sometime Quicktime broadcaster has strange behavior (stops responding while launching or closing, or when starting or stopping the broadcast). But once it is launched and broadcasting, it is solid - the broadcast can sometimes be on for couple of days without me noticing it. Since I am using vbr, the stream is going down to about 15Kb/s when no sound is played on the macbook.
    Still, It would be nice to have a solution that is more flexible, maybe with no latency to watch movies, and maybe something that does not need my pc to be started and to run a client to play the stream.
    So I am looking for some insights about similar solutions : maybe one of this internet radios that would pick up the broadcast, but also that would output the sounds on external speakers.
    That s it, I am done typing. Sorry for my English and this (too long) post. Again, comments appreciated.
    The problem remains here the latency (at least one second even with all cache or buffer turned down) - so you can not stream the audio of a movie that you watch on a wireless device.
    Vincent

    The audio found on a CD is recorded using 44.1 kHz.
    Your DV camera records at 48 kHz only because that is the setting used in .dv files.
    It's a waste of bandwidth to use such a high setting. Heck. You probably don't even need "stereo".

  • Quicktime Broadcaster crashes after a few seconds

    Hi
    This will probably be all too vague for a good answer but thought I'd ask anyway...
    Does have experience of Quicktime Broadcaster being unstable? I've tried using it with a USB webcam (logitech pro 9000) device that works fine with other apps on the Mac and an XP laptop but once broadcasting (to Darwin STreaming Server on another machine) QT Broadcaster crashes after a few seconds or minutes, or when you try to use another application. Looks like memory conflicts but it worked for much longer periods of time earlier this year but after the usual upgrades to 10.4.xx (to 10.4.11) it's become unuseable.
    I was wondering if anyone knew if upgrading to 10.5.xx would sort the problem out?
    Any help or pointers much appreciated.
    Bill

    I'm using the latest version of QT Broadcaster (1.5.2) on a MacBook running OS 10.5.6, using an old external iSight camera for the video input, and I can broadcast for hours without problems. I would recommend an update to Leopard. I might also suggest that you perform a hardware test and check your DRAM, just to be on the safe side.

  • Using a non-firewire cam with quicktime broadcaster

    I have this very nice ptz analogue video conferencing camera... worth about $2000 to tell the truth. I would love to be able to use it with quicktime broadcaster. The problem is the video output is S-video, not fire wire. Does anyone know of some sort of hardware adapter or something that can take the S-video signal and output it in such a way that will trick quicktime broadcaster into thinking that there is a firewire video cam connected?
    any suggestions would be appreciated
    G4 Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I had thought of that but I am worried that i would shell out the money for one only to find out that Broadcaster doesn't recognize it. The documentation for Broadcaster claims that it requires a firewire camera. I am wondering if anyone has had any success or failure with this?
    Not a QT Broadcaster user myself, but do have v1.5 installed on my G5. On reading your query, I tested it with an old, original (unstable stabilized) Dazzle Hollywood DV-Bridge and newer Canopus ADVC-300 converters. Both were correctly identified by name if properly connected when QT Broadcaster application is opened. And, although "hot-swapping" the converters did not cause any problems while QT Broadcaster is running, neither did it force the software to rescan and identify the "change" in hardware device.
    For the purpose of the tests Nikon digital still cameras (990 and D-70) with analog video output and a Sony camcorder with analog and digital outputs (in both tape and throughput modes) were used as the source and the output was recorded/saved as a QT movie file by QT Broadcaster. While I could only get the D-70 to output singleframes (didn't take the time to look for the book), all other sources produced much better quality than expected using the default DV to QVGA/15fps settings -- even when using an old 1930's B&W movie as the taped source.

  • Quicktime Broadcaster: Only with OS X Server?

    Talk about austerity! I have what must be the simplest set-up. PowerMac G5, 12 Mbps cable connection (ethernet), iSight, and QT Broadcaster. The sum of that is that I immediately get a 5420 cannot connect to server error. There is nothing in QTBB Help, and I find nothing by searching Apple's support files. I don't even find anything that could qualify as instructions on how to use the application.
    Does it work only with the $500 OS X Server?

  • Using Echo AudioFire4 with Quicktime Broadcaster

    Just purchased an Echo AudioFire4 to use as the input source for Quicktime Broadcaster on my Mac mini server.
    The AudioFire4 shows up just fine in the audio source drop down and if I use either of the front panel inputs, which are inputs 1 & 2 it works.
    However if I connect the source to either input 3 or 4 on the back panel it get nothing in Broadcaster. The audio shows up just fine in the AudioFire Console application. From trying the AudioFire4 with other audio applications its pretty clear that the applicaiton needs to have a place where you can choose inputs 3 &4 before you can get the audio from these inputs. So either QT Broadcaster has a place to do this I don't know about or I'm out of luck and can't use inputs 3 &4. Does anybody know of a way to make inputs 3 & 4 work with QT Broadcaster?
    Thanks

  • Using QuickTime Broadcaster with QuickTime Player

    I have one computer streaming video/audio using QuickTime Broadcaster. How are you supposed to view the stream with QuickTime Player on another computer? None of the QuickTime docs says how you view a stream. I tried entering the IP address of my broadcast computer into the Open URL field, but nothing happens. I have the latest SW on everything.

    Thanks. This helped, although it still didn't work. I found the solution in the help file although I still had to experiment. The description below is one way for it to work, although there are probably other ways.
    To get it to work from one computer to another, you have to export from the QTB an sdp file. This file gets stored on the viewing computer. On the QTB computer, on the Network tab, the IP address needs to be the viewing computer's IP. Once broadcasting, the QT Player on the viewing computer opens the sdp file. It should then work. If anything on QTB get changed (MPEG-4, etc), you need to export another sdp file.

  • Quicktime Broadcaster - getting it online

    I'm trying to work out how to stream my webcam live onto my website.
    I have installed QTSS and Quicktime Broadcaster, and managed to set it up so it can be viewed around my home, but I have no idea how to get it out and onto the internet or embed it into my site (after a LOT of searching Google).
    Can anyone explain?

    We were using two Canopus ADVC110 Video converters as I have medical use which is allowed for these devices. This is also the reason I cannot use other video converters at the moment. We were streaming H.264 only as plain MPEG4 would not have met our bandwidth restrictions without serious danger of massive dropouts. (A different story, not QuickTime's fault.)
    With a Testbild (bars and tone) I actually didn't have a problem, even for prolonged periods. Maybe because the Testbild was came from the SONY betacam we used. Quality was nothing short of stunning. With the ultrasonic echo-scanner image locked I experienced problems with the upstream breaking after a few minutes. Maybe also because this stream was video only.
    I'll try and experiment with UDP upstreaming if that helps with the disconnects.

  • QuickTime Broadcaster

    Hi I have a couple of questions regarding QuickTime Broadcaster.
    First....how do even make it work.
    When I select the automatic Unicast I get an error -5420 no matter what I fill out on the fields or do it over TCP.
    When I select it as manual unicast I don't get any error message but any other computer inside my own network cannot see the broadcast on either the audio or video port. This brings another question. Why 2 ports and not just one? and, how do I setup both ports on the viewer QT?
    My other issue is that I can only broadcast my iSight, but I want to broadcast what's going on on my desktop instead of my webcam. How do I broadcast the desktop?
    Anyways. I would appreciate if somebody could educate me on how to use this program.
    Thank you. Bye.

    It will work stand alone. After tinkering around and searching various discussion groups it turns our the whole problem is on the receiving end. If they have a router it has a firewall and router firewalls seems to be default configured to block the ports Broadcaster uses. By plugging the computer directly into the cable modem the broadcast got through. Maybe someone can explain this a bit better but when using Broadcaster one to one, the broadcast is being sent to that IP address only via the ports at the receiving end. Because of all the bad things people like to do when they can hack into other's computers these are blocked. So the receiving end has to open their ports to let the broadcast in. Kind of like why you close and lock the front door to your house, it keeps out the unwanted but it has to be opened to let the cat in.

  • My first question here.Is it possible to bounce live from logic into quicktime broadcaster quicktime streaming server?o

    I would like to broadcast (webcast) live music only.Is it possible to live bounce from logic to quicktime broadcaster/quicktime steaming server,and thus to mobile me ?

    Thanks, Evan. Your first suggestion works - although with a lot more difficulty as the Quicktime Pro I have is 5.0 and in Mac OS 9.2. If I listen to it in QuickTime Pro 5.0 after exporting - it is very jerky but the final AIF is okay. I can now burn the CD in iTunes. I probably should upgrade to QuickTime Pro 7 (.whatever) but I am leary about putting out the extra cash if it won't export Midi Files. Any experience with that?
    Also, I do want to get the hang of converting midi data to audio in LE7.01. That way I can add singing to the songs for the beginner students to learn.
    Maybe I'll have a better feel for that once I finish the Training Series book.
    Some of the advantages of keeping it in midi format is the ability to transpose. Some students don't sing in the key the works are written in.
    Your second idea did not work for me. Maybe because I don't have Toast on this computer (it was attached to my iBook). When I opened Toast, chose AUDIO and dragged the midifile to it, it rejected the offer as not being in Audio format.
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • Quicktime Broadcaster Play quick time movie

    Can Quicktime Broadcaster play a .mov video file... or can it only use camera inputs?
    CamCamX has the ability to play video as if it were the isight camera... but this software is more than I need. I just need to play one video through Broadcaster.
    I want to use broadcaster as opposed to the server because most days I do a live broadcast through broadcaster. On days that i do not I just want to play a prerecorded file. But my viewers will come to the same link so I want to use the same application.

    The file must meet the following specifications to play correctly.
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    -or-
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.
    You may need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.

  • Quicktime Broadcaster: USB Webcams (UVC) working?

    Hi,
    I use QT Broadcaster with a DSS to stream a video with my internal iSight or even an external Logitech Communicate STX (macam drivers) with no problems at all.
    Now I wanted to get better image quality with the new Logitech Vision Pro (especially made for Mac) which is a UVC compliant webcam.
    I canselect the cam as a source and preview the videosignal in the broadcaster but as soon as i want to start the stream, I get this error (testet it on three different macs):
    "Senden -8961
    [BroadcastDoc broadcastStateChanged:]"
    Screenshot: http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bild1mj3.png
    Which is really disappointing since the image quality of this cam would be really nice for a live stream. I noticed that Apple isn't saying QT Broadcaster supports any USB devices, could this be the main problem, or were the requirements just not updated?
    I'm just wondering, because the STX model is working just fine with the macam drivers, and the Vision Pro is even selectable in the sources view of the broadcaster.
    Hope you guys have some ideas!

    The question is if anyone else got this camera working with the broadcaster or has any idea on how to get it working. I'm not sure if the specs are all up-to-date since USB cams are working with macam driver. So if it is a driver issue, one would think that the implemented UVC driver in MAC OS X could do the trick. Maybe it's already halfway through, because as i posted above, the Vision Pro is selectable and previewable in the broadcaster.

  • Help using Quicktime Broadcaster

    Alright, so we want to set up a small, live internet broadcasting of some church services. We're still trying to figure out how to do this though. We're going to use my Macbook and use Quicktime Broadcaster. How do set my application up to send out the audio stream and how do others connect to the stream? Also, do the receivers have to be Mac users with Quicktime Broadcaster or can it be PC users with Winamp or Quicktime for Windows or Windows Media Player?? Any help, suggestions about other programs or alternative ways would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    The answers to your questions may be found over on the Broadcaster Tutorials & FAQ websites.

  • QuickTime Broadcaster camera settings ignored

    Since there does not seem to be a separate forum for QuickTime Broadcaster, I'll put my question here...
    I am using a cheap little Logitech USB webcam with QuickTime Broadcaster. It works fine, but after I set up brightness, contrast etc in the camera Options window, the settings go back to the defaults when I turn on the broadcast. This is not the case if I use the built-in camera on my MacBook -- the settings stick where I want them. Any suggestions?
    Thanks...

    I discovered that if I use the Macam app to adjust the Logitech camera settings, and save them, that those settings are then used as the defaults within QuickTime Broadcaster.
    Problem solved.
